Does anyone know for sure if the G8 is coming to the UK? If so, will it be available on carriers or will we have to buy it outright? I've heard very little about the release of this phone.

Huh?
I've heard of a mid-April SIM free release date - probably from Carphone Warehouse as they also did the V30 & G7 SIM free.
Probably no VoLTE or VoWiFi support in the UK due to carriers not officially supporting the phone - LG seem to prefer to turn the options off / remove them from firmware completely rather than leaving them as some other manufacturers do.

LG really make some confusing decisions. Why would they disable features that make the phone infinitely better. Urgh!

They've done it on the last few handsets - you end up having to root the phone and then hack the firmware to turn (core) features back on.
Based on this alone, I think this is going to be the first year in the last 10 that I won't be buying an LG phone!

That's really sad, for both LG and you. I really want this phone so I can play with the sound display and air gestures, but not at the expense of standard tech which even dumb phones are starting to ship with.
What are you likely to switch to?

It's nonsensical and incredibly disappointing.
What an absolute crock. All we got is a watered down version that I won't be buying. Looks like you've lost a loyal customer LG.
It's official, the LG G8 isn't getting a UK release.
That said, Wonda Mobile is importing and selling the Korean version.
Is it safe to buy a Korean version and then using it in UK?

It is indeed.
The LG G8s LMG810EMW is the same as the Korean version and if available in a few weeks might be better to get this option. With the Korean version it will work but there will be some quirks with it.
There is no information about G8's at all ....
The reason i wanted to get g8 from Korea because it has a triple camera
Of course I'd rather buy the EU version.
I dont know why LG does not make the same models everywhere.
Just get the G8 from Wonda
I would consider selling my Canadian variant. I'm a Brit living here in Canada at the moment. Let me know if anyone is interested. Dual camera unfortunately. I only got it 4 days ago but thinking about going back to my s7 for the time being. Too much phone for me.

or u can just spend $3 on a SIM-unlock code and $10 on the QI charging sticker.. add it to the inside of the battery cover of a US-variant G3 and not deal with any of this.
T-Mobile's is bootloader unlocked. Add $13-$20 to unlock sim/enable wireless charging.
Thread closed on OP's request (and I dont see any purpose left )
I'd love to get the Tab S 8.4 LTE (T705) but the LTE support in North America is severely lacking (only 2600MHz is supported by both my carrier and the device. I would also want 700 and 1700/2100).
I've seen mention of an "M" variant for South America (mostly Brazil) that also supports the NA frequencies but I'm coming up blank on a suitable source to purchase one. I've found a bunch of what look to be carrier websites but nothing in English and the prices, after exchange, seem to be significantly higher that what I can buy the non-"M" model for.
Does anyone know what the physical differences are between the "M" and the base version, if any?
Are they actually different or are they just using a custom radio firmware in the "M" to support the SA frequencies?
Would it be possible to flash an "M" radio firmware on the standard model to change the operating frequencies?
Thanks in advance.
Good questions, I have no answers, but the new AT&T model might be what you need. Carrier bloat beware.

Never mind carrier bloat, it's what they're taking away that concerns me.
It looks like, in typical fashion, they have disabled the phone features of the device. I don't see any mention of being able to use it as a phone on the pre-order page and the one picture of a home-screen does not have a dialer icon.
It's possible that's the SM-T707A, though. Time will tell; this is still a new device so we'll see what happens when it finally gets into peoples' hands.

The photos don't show an earset opening, so yes, no phone features in the ATT model. Well, I'm at the point of waiting for the Nexus 9 anyway before I make a decision on a new tab. I really like my Note 10, but would prefer it without touchwiz/magazine/etc.
Any luck on finding a place to buy it from yet? I can't find someone to ship to the us.
I just purchased mine a month ago. The only place I found it availible was on ebay. If you want the phone version of the Tab S make sure you purchase SM-T705. This is the phone I purchased. Tab S with phone capability, and factory unlocked.
I have the t705m bought in Brazil (unlocked) however I regret the day I purchased this tablet. I can't get along with Samsung useless apps I can't uninstall and couldn't find an alternative ROM for this device.

In case most of you depend on this thread for v35 news, and also to compound related material in its forum, I shall post this article here.
According to a source, v35 is set to recieve 9.0 Pie within 3 months. (quarter 2)
Link: https://www.xda-developers.com/lg-v30-v35-v40-android-pie-q2-2019-kernel-sources/
Good to know. Thanks.
And it was set to receive in q1 2019. And q4 2018. I'll be happy when I can just put what ever ROM I want on this thing. Otherwise it's back to Nexus/Pixels for me.

LMV350AWM AT&t PIE Beta: LMV350AWM-V18g-310-410-MAR-22-2019-ARB00 was tested on March 22, 2019.
LG might finish the V19a by the end of April, and it should be ready for OTA in May.
Anyway, AT&T will add its bloatware on the final Android PIE firmware for LG V35.

You can repeat this news till you're blue in the face. Until we get it on our phones, it's another case of LG or LG promoters "crying wolf". I read Q4 2018. I read Q1 2019. I read Q2 2019. I've seen the way LG is supporting this device. It's a forgotten "x.5" V series. Not a v30, not a v40. A phone made for ATT and GFi only.

You can flash .up files in LG UP, but if you post it someplace, I can extract it and turn it into a TWRP flashable zip for the folks that have TWRP.
Edit: I will need a dump of the 12e firmware as well since it is a diff.
Edit2: Actually we really need that since it is a beta, it may have an engineering laf, and that may be the key to rooting these without using a firehose.

Romania, but I don't think that that affects the pie update... I know someone that lives in the same neighborhood as I do, has a phone just like mine (LG G7 ThinQ), we bought the devices only a few days apart, and he received his pie update in june + other updates since then (security patch and others)... and I haven't received any of those... does it have anything to do with the model number or the telecommunications company? My model number is LM-G710EM... the company is Telekom... I looked up my IMEI on imei.info and everything seems ok, no counterfeit or anything like that...
Check your ime number and Se if its not crossflashed
Som retailers is shady country's like rumania crossflash sprint phones and sells them as 710em. Thay will nog get security ore pie updates. U whold be surprised what company's do to make money.

Having the same problem here. Wrote an Email to the LG Support via the LG Website with my IMEI. Turned out that i got a Demodevice that can´t be updated. Did you try to flash a Pie KDZ ?
The phone I have was misrepresented as an unlocked phone, come to find out that it was a cross flashed Sprint phone. I sent it in to LG to have it repaired. They wanted $365 to fix it. I got ripped off as the seller sold it as an unlocked phone. Now I'm stuck with a phone that won't update and cannot use Google Pay. LG isn't going to help either.
I know the S22 variant made for the US market does not have an unlockable bootloader. But is it possible to buy a rootable S22 that will work with a Verizon SIM? Order it from overseas maybe?
yeah you can get a Korean 908N version on eBay with a very reasonable price. I got mine several days ago.

Awesome, thanks. I wasn't sure which country to look for. I prefer a pocket-sized phone and it looks like SM-SS901N is the small one and it's readily available.
I'm still running SABS on my old S9 (installed before Samsung killed it) and I was afraid I'd have to switch to a Pixel to get root, but the smallest Pixel 6 is bigger than I want. The small S22 from South Korea seems like a perfect choice.

No problem at all. I always got the Korean Variant instead of US one. Works for me all the time. I just didn't understand why they didn't provide an option of unlockinh BL on US variant. I feel like it's not even necessary.
are you looking for exynos or snapdragon? there is a large performance and compatability difference. Hong Kong and Singapore are where I got my last two phones from, bootloader unlockable snapdragons.
I'd have to say Snapdragon, which is also the South Korea variant (I'm guessing this is why it's popular for US buyers). Would there be any reason to consider an Exynos for use in the US? According to the reviews I've read, performance & battery life on the Exynos vary between meh and unusably awful.

Hello, may I ask what carrier you're using this with in the US? On Ebay, it says that it doesn't work with Verizon (due to CDMA).
I'm aware that Verizon does a little bit more than CDMA these days, but their base is still CDMA from what I understand. Thanks in advance.
